Thank you for the info. they look so delicious, I love the butter/lemon reduction. I'll be growing artichokes for the first time next year and haven't been able to find any companion plants that would be beneficial to grow alongside them. Do you have any recommendations on what to/not to plant next to artichokes?
I had my first artichoke today and it was very good. I want to eat it every day but the preparation is too much compared to the amount you get to eat.
Ah – just grab a lemon off the tree!!! Jealous? Me?

super
I've never seen an arti prepend this way..Brillant! thank you.
How many hours of sun does your Artichoke plant get on avg ? Thanks
I was just talking to a friend today about the possibility of growing artichoke and then I came across this video! YAY! I love all of your videos! I'm about to sow. I live near Seattle so we have a cooler climate. I'm going to put everything I learn from you into my 50×25 foot garden this year.
Very nice of you. Thank you for taking the time out to make it God bless you and your family
Do you have to cut the stem off to the knuckle or just 3 inches from the top?
Excellent prep ideas. I've eaten all my life and didn't think of some of these things.
My artichokes are opening as they are growing what do I do to keep them closed or tight
Should I just be planting them in containers in Canada?
Very nice! Thanks for the info as usual! I just picked up 6 artichokes this year to try and grow here in Oregon. First time growing them but pumped to see how they do,..
pedals and mayo =o
Here in Malta, locals like to fill up the globe artichoke similar to this link: http://globaltableadventure.com/recipe/maltese-stuffed-artichokes-qaqocc-mimli/
It's the ultimate Mediterranean treat meal!
I am surprised you take away the leaves! They are delish an fun to strip off the globe to eat, dip in butter or mayo! Oh yeah
do people not cook them whole and then peel the leaves, dip the end. there's "meat" on the ends of the leaves. Then the heart as the main bit. Feel like that's how my parents always served them was whole. maybe it's a California thing
Do the artichoke plants take 2 yrs. to produce?
Yum!
Why did you cut the leaves half-way? That is really "throwing away a lot of food"! If you prepare a mix of sliced black olives, fresh parsely, dried bread and sliced fresh green garlic, mix these together, then open the leaves a little and fill in between the leaves with the mix, then boil them with some new potatoes for about 45-50 minutes, you'll be able to pull the leaves and either use the back of a spoon to remove the flesh from the leaves or else simply hold each leaf between your front teeth and pull, a sort of scrape each leaf between your teeth. That is the way we eat them in Malta, bang in the middle of the Mediterranean. Cutting those leaves in half is a waste.
I am so looking forward to growing and eating these.
Took me five tries to find a video about growing artichokes that really explains things clearly! Thank you for being straight forward and to the point.
That must be the Australian way to eat them! I live in California(near Castroville CA) the artichoke capital of the world and I have never eaten them any way but whole. Nothing but the stem cut off. It is part of the fun of Artichokes to drag the petals through your teeth to get the best part off. I can usually go halfway up the petals, so your way doesn't give me that option. Each to his own!!
Hi! Is there a way to grow/propagate globe artichokes from the artichokes themselves? As in growing from grocery store organic globe artichokes like some other veges. Or, would I have to have seed or suckers from an existing plant? Thank you for you time!
I’m in the Australian subtropics as well. When do you plant the seeds? I haven’t had much luck with them! Thanks
Perfect video, just about to harvest my first ever globes
I have one big plant and last year it produced many artichokes but not all at once rather 3 or 4 at a time. My question is can I cut and store them until I get sufficient numbers to cook?
Wow! You’ve removed a lot of the tender, edible parts.
